Don’t get me wrong…I think this is great…the community around jQuery is very impressive.

But one thing that is starting to get cumbersome is that all of this information should be in one place. There are a half dozen domains that have tutorials and API browsers on them…can we start integrating that into one repository where ever that may be?

Maybe this is already done somehow and I am not noticing it…but that’s my two cents.

Contributions can still be separate but I feel they also need to be combined into the main jquery.com site somehow. Thoughts?

One little usability gotcha: when a user has entered stuff into the top right search field, clicking links in the left navigation / tree wont work no more.
Suggestion: clear right top field onClick in navigation or make right top search less ‘aggressive’…

There is now a small update available that fixes a small problem with the header. Splitter got dropped and Chili plugin updated, and the navigation highlight is reduced to the first line of the method description.

carsten: True, that is not very elegant currently. Clearing the content search when using the navigation makes more sense, other opinions on that?

A very good job. Although the latest version is 1.1.1, the API document still remains some examples that are not used. For an example , the .background is still used as an example for $(expression) is 1.1.1 API documentation. It may give a newbie confusion. I have modified it but I think there are still some old examples in 1.1.1 API documentations. Let’s work together to show the essence of the latest jquery with plain explanations.
